I just hope this means that I'll be able to sneak in the door on the non-Anglophone European market. Would love to help spread more robots across Italy too (as there is a wonderfully engaged fanbase back there, for robots of all kind!).

But back to Combiner Wars, get ready for next week's The Transformers #39! We get more background on Offroad and Alpha Bravo (more or less

)!

I just realized you gave Menasor ankle tilts then I realized how you did it. Looks awesome :APPLAUSE:

Those combinations are cool though prime looks a Lil top heavy.

If you're out and about this weekend, keep an eye peeled for the latest Legends class figures in the Transformers Generations Combiner Wars line - Huffer and Blackjack! The image below is courtesy of Seibertronian Mindmaster and the Wilmington, NC, Toys'R'Us - but you can also take an in-depth look at the two in our galleries. And in case you do spot them in the wild, make sure to flag them up in our Sightings database and relevant boards sections. Happy hunting!

not to shabby

Okay, I ordered all 6 Arialbots. The family15 code didn't work from me but I was able to get the spring15 code to work. I had previously picked up Firefly and Skydive from K-mart, but with discount and no tax I am saving $5 on each limb. So they are getting returned tomorrow. That $10 saved gets me a free a powerglide at no extra cost in the long run.

Agreed, those are some badass leg-mode configurations. That's how I think I'll display mine.

I bought these on Wednesday in New York...

My bad. Next time, I will 100% report my findings!

I imagine this would work better with Motormaster and gray limbs, but Wave 2 hasn't arrived where I am:

So leader class can combine after all. :-?

That is horrific...I'm actually glad that leader class can't combine (outside of fan combination) it looks very unwieldy and unstable

Bought and received Air Raid this week from Seibertron store on Ebay. Decided it was time to give in so I could save gas and time looking in stores if Air Raid ever gets released locally.

Members in their G1 configurations, the way I like it with Powerglide as gun.

Crosscheck wrote:I don't know if this has been asked yet, but how do all of the Stunticons seem to interact with the Aerialbots? Dragstrip has that part that flips up when he is a foot so he is the same length as the other legs, but none of the other Stunticons seem to have that same part. If one uses Breakdown and Air Raid as legs, are they the same length?

I mention it in my review of Motormaster, but Drag Strip's rear fin has to be folded up whenever it is used as a leg. The vehicle is just too long.

Nice. I like the middle configuration particularly. I guess Pipes is inevitable from that mold and, if the blue is close enough, Prime could have a pseudo-Roller component. I'm hoping to come up with something using Breacher.

Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Megatron Gallery

I love the new megatron and I think he will be my stand in for my Classics shelf and My MP shelf (as he fits in nice with MP-10 Optimus. my only problem is his head sculpt has no character. I much prefer the head of Cloud Megatron. CW Megatron's face is just bland.

News Credits: 41 · Mon Mar 16, 2015 6:00 pm

Gikpa - those are awesome combos with Huffer!

Hey! Has anyone noticed how sweet the sculpted detail inside Motormaster's chest is?

...and how kinda not sweet it is inside of Prime's?

It's cool though that they went through trouble to sculpt those little differences into the two. Can't wait to get Motormaster in my hands so I can pick out all the other differences in the retool.

Mon Mar 16, 2015 6:11 pm

So, I was watching some video review of Third-Party combiners and the Combiner Wars guys in order to make some comparisons. My main focus was the Fansproject M3 (I think that's the name) and CW Menasor, which is probably my favorite so far.

I must admit, the quality and level of detail on the FP guy is amazing. And also it is very faithful to the G1 Menasor, which, for some people, is an instant buy. For me, these factors do justify the higher price.

However, there were some things that didn't quite make it to me. One of them is the fact that the leg components are simply attached to the existing legs, made from separate parts that were from the torso guy. I like that combiners actually have their limbs made from the components, and not them as armor over existing limbs. Also the number of "partsforming" that goes into the torso...

However, my biggest gripe was the time. It took most reviews so long to put it all together, and so many small parts, and unnecessary movements. It just seemed that the toy was a bit over engineered.

Now, looking as a collector who likes to show my collection to my friends and family. I'd much prefer the Hasbro Menasor, which I can put together and transform the individual bots in a few minutes and a few easy movements; than a ROTF Prime level bot for each limb of the combiner, if only losing a little bit more articulation and more detail.

This is my opinion, of course, and I don't see anything wrong with people that prefer 3P

Yeah, I was gonna say its hard to free healthcare.

Also, man that Hulk Hogan video has some steep production value. Think of all that money spent flying the hulkster and the camera crew to film on all those locations!

Lastly, is that robert e lee in the video?

Yes, on bot accounts. I'm working on painting my own Menasor right now to bring out some of those details.
